Hi,

I want to serialize an object into the memory buffer instead of into a file.
How do I do that?

All the examples I have seen are serializing into a file. In my case, I
don't have access to the hard disk. Can I serialize into the memory directly
using XmlSerializer?

Thanks in advance!!!
Cindy

using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
...

public static string XmlSerializeToString(object data)
{
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(data.GetType());
TextWriter w = new StringWriter(b);
x.Serialize(w, data);
w.Close();
return b.ToString();
}

bye
Rob

This is what I want! I found another way using MemoryStream. But your way is
the best!

Thanks!!!!!

Based on your example - how would I de-seralize from a string to an object ?
